I see an update on jan 24 on this bill to grant 55000 visas for advance degree holders from DV lottery. Does this mean progress? Rest of the immigration bills never make it to the sub committee.
Jan 5th Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Jan 24th Referred to the Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement
This is interesting, and if the DV system is taken out, it will help many in the eb category. This is good, hopefully it will come to a vote.

well..I have been waiting for my labor certifcation to get certfied for too long. just after Sep 11 I applied both for US GC and Canadian PR. My wife also applied for her GC. meanwhile her GC moved to regional when suddenly DOL thought it was time to regroup and there it went into BPC. In the meantime we got canadian PR some 2 years ago but we did not move thinking that we have jobs here.Then she got pregnant and lot of complications ( premature labor) and during those complications her company got acquired by another bigger firm who thought they don't need her..and result was job loss plus GC into the trash....meanwhile my labor certification even after 5 years was still sleeping in EB3 category(PD Oct, 2001) when i still have Masters( god knows why my lawyer put into that category)..Now my canadian PR was set to expire in march, 2007..so I thought i should decide fast..and i applied for jobs..and I got offer in vancouver with moving expenses paid from califronia..It has been the toughest decision because my employer is Indian here in california..and I have had good growth(10% average) but not the way I had wanted..I guess he also exploits..Indian exploiting another Indian..because they know I am not going anywhere..plus we work hard.. I asked him to match what was being offered in vancouver..and he started converting CAD into USD..well..it is not fair..So I have decided to heck with US and the Employer..and move on...at least I can come back..it is not an easy move because my son being premature child had lot of free facilities in california..hopefully he will get the same in Vancouver until he gets to 3 years ..and then it stops..
I have been in this country too long..and I guess one should settle down rather just wait for them to give GC...reading the other post about one lady whose EAD card got expired just tells me that how inconsistent this GC process can be and right until the end...
Anyway that is all for now

It is really sad.
Pls keep in touch with IV forum. The deadline for this reporter has expired but I will keep you in mind for any future story. your story will be useful for reporters covering this cause and ultimately will reach lawmakers and public through media reports. I wish things could work out for you in US. It is sad and there are thousands of people like you with badly affected personal lives due to the broken immigration system. A lot of my motivation to work for IV also comes from coming across people like you and thus feel strongly to do something to solve problems affecting each one of us in the IV community we have all built. Good luck and best wishes.

As far as I know, starting a PERM application in itself does not amount to an intent to immigrate - it is simply a labor market test for a future position.Remember, the employer can port the LC to a different employee at a later date. I-140, however is an application to immigrate permanently to the US; hence a violation of the F1 visa. You may have a difficult time getting your I-485 approved or have to go in for consular processing. It is best you consult a lawyer on this one; don't count on random opinions on the forum for such a serious issue.
You are correct!

Please don't travel thru countries that impose this ridiculous transit Visa requirement on individuals, especially from India. Ask them to justify the charges, and you would get no response from them.
So, even if takes to spend $200 - 300 more, AVOID these crook countries that charge Transit Visa. People we must send the message across. In this century, I think its Indians that are traveling the most on these trans-atlantic-asia route, and collectively avoiding these 'snob' countries would send a very good signal.
If you are buying the transit visa, your dignity is at stake. Its like saying buying insurance for a person who is poor. They dont charge for countries that are more developed. so, AVOID AVOID these countries.
I am traveling to India soon, and I am going thru Brussels not because I got a cheap ticket, but because there is no transit visa required there.
I had to apply for UK transit visa last time I went to India (air india). This time I am taking non-stop Chicago to Delhi. I agree about avoiding countries that require transit visa.

but, Once I was stopped at the airport by a security agent while travelling within US and he asked me abouit my status. When I mentioned I am on Work Visa he asked me to show the passport and Visa, I was not carrying one. I showed him my DL, He was on call with someone for 20-30min and come back returned my DL and istructed to carry the passport whenever travelling.
Per law, all H1B papers (atleast LCA) should be kept where non-immigrants work. There is no clear law for non-immigrants to hold passport/visa/EAD always with them. They recommend always to keep with you. Further, consulates( when they issue visa), won't give any specific instruction to non-immigrants to carry passport/visa always with them. However, for immigrants (LPR) it is very clear that one MUST hold orginal GC always with them. It is rule/law. The welcome notice clearly shows. Although, many dont practice, it is still a rule. I heared a story when a guy pulled off he got big trouble, when he claimed he is a LPR; and does not carry the GC.

Just a quick question:
My employer had legal dept and lawer filed G28 form for me when applied for I-485. Do we really need to hire a lawyer to represent us? I am planning to move to client under similar job description this month end and would like to see if I have to file AC21 and change the lawer representation.
I appreciate any response.
You do not need a lawyer. Just make sure CIS has your correct mailing address and keep watching your cases regularly for RFEs.
In the event of an RFE, you can respond on your own most of the times. If you think it requires a complex response or if you are not confident, you can hire a lawyer at that point to respond to that RFE.
I would even say handling your case on your own is safer as I know some cases where the lawyer goofed up by not responding to RFEs. The applicant was not even watching his case status as he had left everything to the attorney and he had no idea about the RFE.
It is also not necessary to inform CIS about your job change unless there is a possibility that your previous employer may revoke your 140.

UPDATE: My company attorney suggested talking about this in April, and I am nervous about waiting till then in limbo - things are only going bad to worse, I might as well find a job at a place which will sponsor a PERM sooner rather than later.
I request you to PM me if you have any leads for such companies might still be a good bet for filing a PERM.
uhh..damn immigration process..
I was in similar situation last year. This what my attorney told me after layoffs. They have to wait 6 months after layoffs in the company before filing PERM again. The perm filing process in big companies take atleast 2-4 months. So if they are planning to file after 6 months then this is right time to start collecting documents. For this to happen it might need little push from your manager.
If your company is in a situation where they are planning to layoff people continously over the next year(I know one big company which is doing this) then it is better to talk to lawyers right now and decide the course of action because there is no point in waiting until april. If your manager strongly supports your case then some times lawyers can pull off tricks like there are no layoff with this particular skill set or in this division etc..
I dont know of any big company that is hiring. If your resume is hot(has specialized skills) then put it in dice or monster you will always find employer.
You can always switch to consulting and find consulting company which applies for GC right away.

A core member has been helping me in this matter. I really have to thank the core for being so responsive and for giving this matter the kind of attention it deserves. There is some progress in this case and the quickness with which the IV Core acted on this and moved the issue forward gives me and my family hope.
We have been patiently waiting in the immigration queue for close to 10 years and finally when we are so close to the end of this long journey become victims of a clerical error which was completely out of our control. IV has provided our family with hope. I thank IV for that
We pray that this issue gets resolved and I hope that no one else has to go thorugh this trying situation.

I am on currently on EAD pending AOS. My priority date is current starting September.
My wife is on H1 and serving her 3 year J1-waiver requirements she has completed 1 year and has 2 more years to go We got married two years before I started my GC process.
My question is at what point should I file my wife's I485 given that I am current next month - She obviously has a J1-visa waiver approval but has still 2 more years to complete her waiver requirements. Assuming my AOS gets approved in next 2-3 months what would you suggest would be a good time to file my wife's I-485 and I am come under EB2 India category.
Thanks.

If the minister talks to the US President regarding VISA retrogression problem,How the outside world will come to know ? The discussions will be kept confidential ! I don't think everything will be disclosed to the press. VISA revalidation is another thing he can talk to US Secretary of State.
